rylAn Auger | Principal
Principal Auger teaches Latin and Math at KCCS. He was raised in Peterborough and is passionate about seeing gospel renewal in the city. After a year of learning the inductive method of bible study in Lake Lure, North Carolina, he returned to Peterborough to continue working and studying. He received his B.A. in Ancient Greek and Roman Studies from Trent University, and is currently pursuing his Master of Studies in Classical Christian Education at New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. Rylan also serves as an elder at his home church. He and his wife, Carleigh, have seven children. He is a lover of History, Greek, and good books; and he is excited to show Christ is the centre and goal of all reality—even in Math!
dera Chan | Kindergarten
Mrs. Chan is the Kindergarten Teacher at KCCS. Born and raised in Nigeria, she moved to Canada to pursue a post secondary education at Sir Sandford Fleming College. With bountiful opportunities and experiences working with children, she is delighted to apply herself to her work at KCCS. She is also delighted to walk on the path of virtue and of the knowledge, fear and love of the Lord with the KCCS community, ever pointing the eyes of the students to Christ and encouraging them to march "further up and further in"!
Dera lives with her husband in Peterborough. When they are not enjoying a good book (or three!) with a warm beverage together, you may find them enjoying bike rides, playing badminton, going on walks, or watching countryside British detective shows together.
Brooke Roberts | grades 1 & 2 | Junior Music
Mrs. Roberts is both the Grade 1 & 2 Teacher and the Music Teacher at KCCS. She is a wife and mother of two girls. Her education and career background is in Marketing and Communications, but music has been a special part of her life since childhood.
After years of choral singing, performing, writing music, and being part of many musical theatre productions, it is now her great pleasure to introduce the students of KCCS to all the enrichment that music can bring to an education.
atticus belgrave | Grades 3 & 4
Mr. Belgrave has taught at KCCS since 2022 as a subject teacher in Science, History, and Math. This year, we are excited to have him fill the Grade 3-4 teaching position. Atticus excels at helping his students make connections between the realities we observe in each of these subjects with the Creator who designed and defines each one.
Jacob Leeming | Grades 5 & 6
Mr. Leeming serves as the Grades 5-6 teacher at KCCS. Born and raised in Belleville, he moved to Peterborough with his wife Mikaela in 2018, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in theology from Master’s Bible College and Seminary. Being firmly convinced that the world in all its splendour only “holds together” in Christ (Col. 1:17), he has a keen desire to understand how all things—from history and literature to math and grammar— stand in relation to the glorious God who made and rules them all. Jacob also serves as an elder at his church as well as Director of Operations at Dominion Press.
benjamin inglis | Grades 7 & 8
Mr. Inglis teaches theology, history, literature, and writing to our Grade 7 and 8 students. He attended pre-graduate studies at Toronto Baptist Seminary and recently graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho. He has written for several publications including Touchstone, Gilbert!, Circe Institute, and the Mythopoeic Society. He is also an associate pastor and general editor for Dominion Press.
Melissa Inglis | visual Arts | Nature study
Mrs. Inglis is the Visual Arts Teacher at KCCS, as well as the Nature Study teacher for Kindergarten-Grade 4. Exploring the wonder and beauty of God's world through the creative arts has remained a central passion throughout Melissa’s life. After completing a BA in Ministry at Kawartha Lakes Bible College she worked for several years as an Arts Coordinator for at-risk youth. With the birth of her three children, Melissa turned her love of art and teaching towards homeschooling. She believes that students need not decide between truth and beauty, but that truth informs beauty, and beauty can help illuminate truth.
Sarah-Anne Inglis | Senior Music & Choir
rebecca kloostErmaN | Curriculum Director
Mrs. Kloosterman is currently on temporary leave as a teacher at KCCS, but continues in her role as curriculum director. Originally from Barbados, Rebecca came to Peterborough to study at Trent University where she received her Bachelor of Business Administration and her Bachelor of Education degrees. She spent two years as an elementary teacher in Barbados before returning to Peterborough with her husband Alex, where they are now raising their two daughters. One of Rebecca's favourite things about being an educator is seeing the "light bulb" go off in a child's eyes when he/she grasps a foreign concept for the first time. She enjoys learning alongside her students and beholding the beauty of Christ with them in all areas of learning.
